Let $G$ be an arbitrary abelian group and consider a subgroup of $P = G \oplus G \oplus G$ given by $$ S = (1,0,-1)G+(0,1,-1)G:=\left\{ (g_1,g_2,-g_1-g_2) \mid g_1,g_2 \in G \right\}. $$ Is it true that $P / S = G$? If it is true, what is a standard way of showing such equalities?

Is there in $S$ a direct sum? – Mikasa Feb 23 '13 at 18:24

@BabakS. no, it's just a notation for what I wrote on the right – Appliqué Feb 23 '13 at 18:28
